TULIPA SS21

  • Kat Priest

Graduate collection Creating a fluidity and flow that oscillates around the body, the collection translates the Renaissance slashing technique into sculptural forms. Extending the movement in print, strong contour lines form a dynamic tulip print and are combined with 3D elements to create an illustion between the two dimensions. Instagram: @kat.priest
